Ah, thanks for clarifying then. "IT" is a subset of a much
larger area of computing, in which there are likely to be,
I believe, a sizable number of areas for which Python is _not_
the *best* tool.
My own company is not "IT", but what you'd probably call
industrial control. Python has a great many very effective
uses in that area, but there are things it is not "best" at,
apart from hardware drivers. One, for example, is hard real-time
work... it's not very good at all there. :-)
